LOL, these are funny, but you know I live in Georgia and have heard of a few of them. Number 6 is one I heard of a long time ago, it seems the law was passed in Atlanta Georgia many years ago, when someone actually did tie a giraffe to a street lamp. Another law that is still in effect is, that it is against the law to spit tobacco in the streets and if caught doing so you could get a 1000.00 dollar fine. God Bless
